> Ensure your child is happy and healthy. Those are the most important measurements.
A cat, a goldfish or even a houseplant are 'healthy and happy'.
I'm hoping we as human beings strive to move beyond a simple vegetable existence.

That would be interesting.
How do you define happiness ? If "happy" is the baseline for existence a lot of us don't even exist.
Some people spent their lives working on this very topic:

Unfortunately it is not.
It's one of the most common goals in life, but it's not so widespread as one might think.
Many live non-happy lives, still exist and still try to make their lives better, one way or another.
